This Year: #FutureOfCamp

The #FutureOfCamp looks bright…Camp offers something for children that they cannot receive on a playing field, in a

classroom, in front of a screen or even in a book. 

The #FutureOfCamp is increasingly competitive and vulnerable. There are more and more options available for

youth today that compete for camp time and dollars.

The #FutureOfCamp is specialized programs where campers can develop or

improve upon skills.
